Just talked to tasteless, and confirmed that he and EG have parted ways. No April Fool, No bad terms, no drama or anything. Calm down thanks ^^. -kennigit |

With Artosis and Sku bringing the team back for NASL, I bet Tasteless will be involved in some respect. Him and Artosis have been talking a lot about the Media days, and maybe they are planning something big.
Tasteless doesn't strike me as the type to be a dick when breaking with an organization, and I doubt he would do it without good reason. Rumors are just that, the lies of little kids who want things to be more than they are.
Sorry to go a bit off-topic here, but I'm genuinely confused and interested. Where does that "Sku" thing come from? Did Skew change his ID to that in SC2 or something? I know Kennigit typed it correctly in his post, but I think I've seen three or more people before and after him spell it that way.

Its his name on ladder, I'm not sure he has changed it to that or if people just kinda adopted that.

Wish him the best of luck in the future. Still a big Tasteless fan.

Knowledge Bomb.
Tasteless had a contract with EG. The contract mostly pertained to EG's Korean presence, which has obviously shifted focus over the course of the past few months.
This contract was over in December of 2010.
As far as I know EG was still in discussion with Nick to see if the contract would be re-signed. But as mentioned above, because of EG's shift in focus (this is MY opinion) I'm guessing was likely not going to be renewed.
So Tasteless basically quit a job that he hasn't had since December of 2010. I guess his tweet was confirmation that either A. a new contract wasn't signed, or B. Tasteless has something else on his plate.
In looking out for the best interest of both Tasteless and EG, I don't think either party is at fault. An official announcement would have been nice (maybe it would have curbed some of this "drama), but as far as I know both parties have no ill will towards the other. I think it's appropriate to respect both Nick and EG in this matter and not try to create drama that isn't there.
Don't forget kids, eSports and many of the relationships/partnerships are business. And sometimes business decisions are made that we (the public) don't agree with or understand... but at the end of the day... it's business.
I really don't think there's much more to say about this.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up.
On topic: I don't think it's really that big of a deal to be honest. EG shifted their attention from Korea back to NA, now that SC2 is getting big pretty much everywhere and you can't really blame them for that. As for Tasteless, he did just fine before EG picked him up and I very much doubt this will be the end of all for him, as some people seem to expect.
edit: ^ Yeah, what WHEAT said.

I agree.
What's your opinion on the impact that flying pro SC players around the world to tournaments has on the environment?
